Sweet Little Colorful Home

I’ve had this bookmarked for ages and ages, but never posted it, because frankly it’s not so offbeat. But man, I can’t keep bookmarks forever. I’ve wrestled with posting it, and due to the fact that I think it’s a head turner, I’m gonna.

How adorable, right? It reminds me of some tiny Berkeley homes I saw on my last visit to the Bay area. I would so paint my house like this.

I found this home randomly at Lloyd’s Blog. His blog will get you all lusty for California and easy going architecture. Right now he’s got this post Two Small Creekside Cabins in California Canyon up that’s very cool. There’s much more to see too. Check it out.

Yesterday I posted, “Why I don’t mess around on Flickr” and then, although I said I would, I forgot to show the last two structures I found on there. Darn me anyhow.

Besides the cool finds yesterday I also found this great little converted grain silo. Love it.

And I found this, which seems like something I’d have seen, and yet, no. I love how it looks like the sections are moving, or could be twirled. If you had a few beers and walked under this one, things might get kooky.

There, this concludes our flickr jaunt for a while, well, minus the items people send me. People love to send me flickr homes, which by the way, I do like, because it keeps me off there. A good thing, since yesterday we established I waste far too much time there.

Why I don’t mess around on Flickr

I like flickr. It does make me a little envious, because I’m the type who will screw up the lighting, or cut off heads in photos without even trying, and there are some pretty talented folks who post at flickr. I can deal with that though. The real reason I don’t mess around on flickr is because there are just way too many cool house photos. I’ll spend far too much time browsing; you can find some odd, to fairly insane homes on there. Another reason I don’t visit so much is that I enjoy seeing an architects full line of projects, more so than say, one random house.

That said, once in a very slim while I’ll give in and browse a little. Like yesterday – I spent way too much time there and found a bunch of random stuff. Here’s the first half…
